Wait...
If these guys are funding freedom and libertarian causes how is that any different from Soros funding Obambi and socialist causes?
No problems with that, liberal media?
I think they deserve a medal.
Ehhh...somebody’s digging hard trying to disrupt the Tea Party...would they dig as hard about “Bammy’s history...
Sorta like the Kennedys?
You are right about the media hypocracy- if they are taking govt money, these moneys exist and any good business man takes advantage of the (business) environment he has to exist in.
But they are funding causes that will ultimately REDUCE the money they can get, aren’t they?
If they were taking government money and then spending it to elect candidates who can get them MORE government money, then I would have a serious problem with that.
What does any of this have to do with passenger trains?
They play the game the way it is set up by our lousy government.
They then turn around and pump millions into conservative causes, and yet you still complain.
Let's end corporate welfare, not because it's bad for the country, bad for the economy and a waste of money, end corporate welfare because these mean conservatives get some of the dough.
Sounds good to me. Let's cut government spending by 60%, to screw these rich guys.
ROFL, good timing Willie while you were posting this somebody else was posting a story about how the left is excuse mongering their eventual losses in November, the lead off in the story is their demonizing the Koch brothers:

Way to use your talking points.
For example, two weeks ago, the Kochs bought a couple of ethanol plants ? I might too, since our wonderful goobermint is about to MANDATE an increase in gasoline ethanol content to 17%.
Which is another sop by Big goobermint to Big agribusiness, like Archer Daniels Midland. Screw the consumer.
If the Kochs are being forced to pour that piss into their gasoline, why shouldn't they supply it as well ?
I just don't understand the problem Willie. You love Big goobermint when it's forcing us to pay taxes for your favorite boondoggle, any kind of passenger choo-choo. Why the heartburn now ?
Would to God all conservative business played the game the way the Kochs do. The professional left despises them because they “play the game” with all the ruthlessness the left is known for.
Koch Industries has consistently shown a remarkable ability to skirt the intent of government sponsored leftist regulation, while documenting obedience to the letter of said regulation when it goes to court.
That’s why this hit-piece has the same tenor as a pissed off teenage girl bitching about a girl prettier than herself.
And this comes from a socialist!
For how long will FR tolerate this unionist plant, Willie?
“7. STALIN
Before Fredrick Koch suddenly developed a pinko paranoia and helped start up the John Birch Society, he was making piles of cash laying the foundation of Soviet oil infrastructure in the 1920s and early 1930s. He designed and built refineries, hosted Soviet engineers for training in Wichita, Kansas, and made an invaluable contribution to the rapid industrialization of the Soviet Union during Joseph Stalin’s first Five-Year Plan. This is a touchy issue for the Koch family: without the Commie Reds providing his future seed capital, Koch Industries would not exist today—and neither would the Tea Parties.”
Can this guy be serious?
